Make A Wish!




 Happy Saturday!  I finally had a chance to get some craft time in today.  I spent most of my Christmas break reorganizing, purging, and cleaning my craft room.   It is not done yet, but it is getting there.

I got some PTI goodies and Ranger Distress inks for Christmas so I just had to play with one or two of the PTI Make It Monday "A LA CARTE" Challenge this week.




I started with some Ranger Watercolor paper and distress inks for the background technique.  I did add some PTI kraft to the mix.  I did the "watercolor smooshing" technique from Challenge 204.  I finished the background pattern with "splattering" Challenge 233.   I used some fun foam to add dimension to adhere to a stampers select card base.   I added a gold Metallic die cut sentiment using PTI Birthday Cheer die set. I layered the dies using stampers select for some added thickness and dimension.   Next, I used what I think is one of the coolest stamp sets ever!  I just love PTI  Be Mine, Valentine Stamp Set.  First of all, where can you get a gem, a typewriter, a peach, a fan, a camera, and a ruler in the same set?  Next, it is not just for Valentine's!  It is a win win!  I am so glad I got this set.  I stamped and die cut two gems and stamped in a soft blue and a soft pink and layered over some loose threading using foam adhesive.  I finished my card with a few gold sequins.

I am playing along with this week's ColourQ Challenge and Just Us Girls.




As always thanks so much for stopping by!
